as Current/Inactive on the department''s records during their time as temporary qualifying broker.

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION: Include Proof of intention to add temporary broker to
brokerage as officer, member, manager, or partner. Acceptable proof would be documentation
showing why the current broker is no longer able to operate in the capacity of qualifying broker. A
broker¿s failure to complete post-licensure education is not an unexpected vacancy.

qualifying broker registration number is issued to notify the department of one of the following
options: becoming the permanent broker; establishing a permanent broker for the company; or
closing the brokerage. Visit department website to obtain the appropriate form (Form RE 13).

If no permanent qualifying broker has been established within 60 days, the license for the
brokerage will become License Authority Voided and all related licenses will automatically become
Inactive with no further notice from the department.
